Using Okta to Protect IL4 Data

Okta is the industry leader in identity and access management, enabling organizations to accelerate the secure adoption of their web-based applications, both in the cloud and on premises. Okta delivers a complete solution that addresses the needs of IT, end users, business leaders, and developers; no customization is required. By adopting the Okta service, organizations dramatically improve the security and ease of managing their applications, including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and other on-prem and cloud-based applications. IT benefits by using one central place for policy-based management that governs which users get access to the mission-critical applications and data that power core business processes, regardless of their location. End users benefit by using their Okta single sign-on homepage to simplify their life and reduce the security risks caused by “password fatigue,” and developers benefit through the use of an easy-to-implement, hardened identity platform, enabling them to focus on delivering feature sets, not building user management. With Okta, there is no longer a need for users to resort to the typical tricks for memorizing passwords—obvious or reused passwords, writing passwords down on Post-it notes, or saving them in Excel files on their laptops.
